Staff augmentation (bringing in the extra staff needed in times of overload or specialty requirements) is a skill within itself. How do you hire the right person that will get the job done with the expertise you are paying for? You can't afford to go through two or three developers as the project gets closer and closer to its deadline.

Have you heard this horror story? "We hired a VB programmer to help with a time sensitive project and after several weeks we found out that she had not produced any usable code! Now we are back to square one." This or similar experiences may have been part of your attempts to augment your staff.

So, how do you bring someone on, get them up to speed and producing in the shortest amount of time?
